About the ingredients: Apple cider vinegar, Digestive enzymes
Directions
How to take it
Take two capsules a day with 6 to 8 oz of water.
Directions on the label

Label warnings
Do not exceed recommended dose. Pregnant or nursing mothers, children under the age of 18, and individuals with a known medical condition should consult a physician before using this or any dietary supplement.
Graded honestly
What the evidence says
Two capsules give 1,000 mg of dried apple cider vinegar powder, 200 mg of inulin fiber from Jerusalem artichoke, 100 mg of an enzyme blend (DigeZyme) and 1 billion CFU of Lactobacillus acidophilus LA85 counted at manufacture. Each of the four ingredients is present at a fraction of the amount, or in a different form from the one, used in its own human studies. The formula as a whole has never been tested. We make no benefit claim for this product.
How it works
Inulin is a fiber that people cannot digest. It reaches the large intestine intact, where gut bacteria such as Bifidobacterium ferment it. DigeZyme is a blend of five digestive enzymes (amylase, protease, cellulase, lactase and lipase) that break down starch, protein, plant fiber, milk sugar and fat. Lactobacillus acidophilus is a probiotic species, and the effects of probiotics depend on the exact strain and the amount. The active part of vinegar is acetic acid, which researchers think may slow stomach emptying when taken as a liquid with a meal. This label does not state how much acetic acid the powder contains.
The dose in this product
No benefit is claimed, because no ingredient is present at a studied dose and form. Inulin: 200 mg a day.
How that compares with the studiesHide the comparison
A pooled analysis of 50 trials found that chicory inulin fibers raised gut Bifidobacterium at 3 to 20 g a day, and European regulators allow a bowel regularity claim for chicory inulin only at 12 g a day. This product gives about one fifteenth of the lowest of those amounts, and its inulin comes from Jerusalem artichoke, not chicory. DigeZyme: 100 mg a day.
The one published trial we found used 150 mg a day (50 mg three times daily) for 60 days in 40 people under medical care for digestive discomfort, and it was run by the ingredient's maker. Lactobacillus acidophilus LA85: 1 billion CFU counted at manufacture, so fewer may be alive when you take it. The one human trial of this strain on its own that we found used 2 billion CFU a day for 14 days in 82 adults taking an antibiotic, and its main result was not statistically significant.
Apple cider vinegar: the human studies used liquid vinegar, usually 15 to 30 mL a day. In a crossover trial of 12 healthy adults, 25 g of liquid vinegar (1.25 g of acetic acid) lowered the rise in blood sugar after a meal by 31%, while vinegar tablets with 1.5 g of acetic acid had no effect when swallowed whole. This product has 1,000 mg of vinegar powder, and the label does not say how much of it is acetic acid.
We make no health claim for this product.
The studies we found did not test the amount or form it provides, so nothing passed our review. The notes beside this box say what was studied.
Strong evidence: many human trials agree, at the amount in this product. Moderate evidence: human trials mostly agree, but they are small, short or mixed. Early evidence: a few small human studies or lab work. Promising, not proven.
Safety
Who it is for, and who should ask first
Good fit if
- People who want a small daily mix of vinegar powder, inulin, enzymes and a probiotic in one capsule, and accept that no health benefit has been shown at these amounts
- People who are not looking for a specific digestive result
Ask your doctor first if
- You have diabetes, especially if you use insulin or have slow stomach emptying (gastroparesis)
- You have a weakened immune system, are seriously ill, or have a central line or recent surgery. The capsules contain live bacteria
- You have trouble swallowing or a history of esophagus problems
- You are allergic to mold. The enzymes in DigeZyme are made by fungi
- You are pregnant or nursing, under 18, or have a known medical condition (label caution)
Interactions
- Insulin and other diabetes medicines: liquid vinegar can lower the rise in blood sugar after a meal and slow stomach emptying. Whether these capsules do so is unknown. Ask your doctor first.
- Antibiotics can kill probiotic bacteria. Health Canada's guidance for probiotic products is to take them at least 2 to 3 hours before or after an antibiotic dose.
- Medicines that weaken the immune system, such as long term steroids or drugs given after a transplant: ask your doctor before taking any live probiotic.
Possible side effects
- Gas or bloating, which fermentable fibers such as inulin and probiotics can cause, mostly in the first days
- Throat or esophagus irritation if a capsule lodges. One published report describes esophageal injury from an apple cider vinegar tablet
Upper limit
No tolerable upper intake level has been set for any of the four ingredients. Inulin fibers have been studied at up to 20 g a day (Nagy 2023), far more than the 200 mg here. DigeZyme was studied at 150 mg a day for 60 days with no product related side effects reported (Majeed 2018).
There are no safety studies of this capsule formula. The label says not to exceed two capsules a day.
Combining with our other products
Probiotic 40 supplies 40 billion CFU of four other bacterial strains, against 1 billion CFU of one strain here. Taking this product on top of Probiotic 40 adds little that can be measured, and more CFU is not known to be better, so choose one probiotic product. The same applies to any other probiotic or digestive enzyme product in this line.
There is no vitamin or mineral overlap with other products, so it can be taken alongside the vitamin D3, omega 3 and magnesium products.
Lab reports
What the lab report covers
We hold the manufacturer’s lab report for a production lot of this product. It reports on the manufacturer’s own lot, not on the container you receive. This is what it covers and what it leaves out.
Only a bacteria count per gram is reported. The vinegar, inulin and enzymes are not measured.

Answers
Questions people ask
Will it help my digestion?
We do not claim that. Each ingredient is below the amount, or in a different form from the one, used in its own studies, and the formula has never been tested. If digestion is your goal, talk with your doctor about what is behind it.
Is 200 mg of inulin enough to feed good bacteria?
Probably not. Trials that raised gut Bifidobacterium used 3 to 20 g of inulin fiber a day, and the European bowel regularity claim for chicory inulin needs 12 g a day. A spoonful of inulin powder or a serving of onions, leeks or Jerusalem artichokes gives far more.
How does it compare with Probiotic 40?
Probiotic 40 supplies 40 billion CFU from four strains. This product supplies 1 billion CFU of one strain, counted at manufacture, plus small amounts of vinegar powder, inulin and enzymes. Neither formula has been tested as a whole. Choose one rather than taking both.
Is this the same as drinking apple cider vinegar?
No. Most human studies used liquid vinegar, usually 15 to 30 mL a day. In the one trial that compared them after a meal, liquid vinegar had a measurable effect and vinegar tablets swallowed whole did not. This label does not state how much acetic acid the powder contains.
What does DigeZyme do?
DigeZyme is a branded blend of five enzymes that break down starch, protein, plant fiber, milk sugar and fat. Its one published trial used 150 mg a day in people under medical care, and the trial was run by the company that makes it. This product gives 100 mg a day, and we found no study in healthy people.
Is the probiotic count guaranteed until the bottle runs out?
No. The label counts 1 billion CFU at the time of manufacture, and live bacteria die off during storage. We have asked the supplier for a count at the end of shelf life. Keep the bottle closed, cool and dry.
Who should not take it?
People with a weakened immune system or a serious illness should ask their doctor before taking any live probiotic, because rare bloodstream infections have been reported in very ill people. People with diabetes who use insulin or have gastroparesis should ask first too. In a small study, liquid vinegar slowed stomach emptying further in such patients.
